Use This Strategy To Avoid 'Gambling' In The Stock Market [View article]
Thanks for these articles,. great material! I red the 1st chapter of Dever's book on Amazon and it is very well writ. Presents ideas about investing in general that I have recently stumbled on, if only in inchoate non-verbal inklings. Tryed to buy "Jackass" via Kindle (for PC) and was errored out of it, due to "copyright" issues for residents of the US.
I like the comment by texasbucks about beans and ammo. This implies to me that underneath "gold", and whatever value has been currently ascribed to gold, there is a social fabric which we want to maintain very much. Without this "fabric"-- rule of law, civil services, etc--you are left with a bizarre scenario of a relative handful of goldists trying to trade their hoard for things and services, basically among themselves--maybe dragging the "bullion" around in a horse buggy. Call it the "local" economy. But gold, I think, is not even possible to value when social order is gone. This is not early America. Our world is too big, too complicated now. There is a tipping point, that when the social order dissolves the value of gold, as it is currently valued, dissolves too. I get the feeling, reading so many posts--not on this thread--about gold and doomsday that peeps have not really truly thawt it thru: a world where "owning gold" is the only barrier between it's owner and (economic) chaos.

I got burned shareprice-wise with CEL,( tho I may have sold when I shouda held; time will tell). But, please note, if your tax bracket is low, CEL has a 20% tax for Israel which won't be a deduction (since your bracket is too low for the deduction). The divi remaining is still very hi, but the tax should be factored. Thanks for the article!
The Future Of Smart TV Technology: Samsung, Google Or Apple? [View article]
Thanks for the post. Much food for thawt. The issue, imho, is not about "devices". The issue is: Internet TV. Peeps want TV, and alot of it. They want all broadcast channels currently bundled in "packages" to be streamed on the internet--and they are not now on the internet, not in mass. True internet TV--not Hulu, nor Apple, nor Google, as they are pumping "TV"-- is not here yet.
The issue is to break the unholy link between cable providers and "content" providers. This implies giving peeps what they want: no bundled channels in accordance with the preferences of the cable service, but a selection of channels, one by one, as it always should have been, but is not and probably never will be offered. Your internet is likely coming from the cable provider anyway, and for true TV you'll maybe have to upgrade your speed, so they still get to gouge you, but I for one would like to cut Cablevision out of the cash cow equation. Roku, for example, a dedicated streamer for any TV, is going to have, or already has, streaming HBO. Maybe Showtime, or CNN, is next?
One tiny angle .. I always saw "Streaming" as having to do with my computer, or paying Cablevision (etc), for which you need to pay per view via the cable box @ $4 for a movie. Dunno why, but this is a turnoff for me. I hate the footprint a cable box needs. And I hate watching videos on my computer.
But yesterday in researching a dedicated streaming device, Roku, I realized that "internet TV" is really a sleeping giant. I think Netflix can see some growth here, tho not without competition, in what will be, imho, the biggest "thing" since the internet itself. And I don't think internet TV is really here yet, at all. Cable TV services have too much at stake to "let" it happen. The original set-top box from Roku was called the" Netflix Player", so their concept seems to have revolved around NF, but has since greatly expanded. (note, I'm not hyping Roku!)
Key Question For Android Ice Cream Sandwich: Is It Legal? [View article]
Yes, the patent system can be absurd. The fones and apps I want are all Android, so I hope GoogSung can squeeze around the Apple lock. But Apple's legal department is even better than their tek department.
Waiting For Halliburton To Wash Out [View article]
Thanks for the post and your take on these companies. I think HAL got slammed today because the market did, and no one had "permission" to believe that the earnings were good, and would be in future. Plus, the CEO, not for the first time, seems to enjoy damping irrational exhuberance, so to speak, in his company's prospects.
